    ECT sensor question

    Will an ECT sensor going out always throw a code? Ive been battling an idle issue and not getting any codes. Im figuring since the problem is still somewhat intermitent it may not throw a code. The symptoms are that of an ECT being bad though and I havent found any vacuum leaks.
